white Supremacy and white Women in the Nonprofit Sector

When power is concentrated in well-intentioned white women leaders and institutions, what can we do to address pervasive white supremacy?

The majority of nonprofit leadership (including boards) identify as white. Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) women have a different (more difficult) fight for equity in the nonprofit sector (and beyond). To achieve gender equality across the board, we need to address the ways in which white supremacy norms are perpetuated in our organizations. While white women have faced gender oppression, there’s also a need to recognize how there could be an internalized sense of racial superiority.

March is Gender Equality and Women's History Month. This is a time to celebrate women's (ALL women - white and BIPOC) contributions to society and recommit to the fight for gender equity.

This free webinar will provide awareness on what it can look like for white women leaders to unpack their biases and internalized superiority, how to call out/in white women in leadership, and how to disrupt the white dominant habits and make room for BIPOC women to have a seat at the table.
